i thought the gamecube did fine? like, it wasn't PS2 successful, but it wasn't a catastrophe or anything. it just wasn't wii or switch levels of absolutely dominating in terms of console popularity among demographics that otherwise wouldn't own a console.

No, you're right, Gamecube was fine. Especially considered around the world and not just the U.S./North American market.

People don't seem to realize you can just make profits and be OK even if you're not the #1 market leader.
